I love the atmosphere. I was last here on a warm spring day and the windows were left open to the city with walls decorated with clocks and vintage oddities. Everything about the space has character, it is unique and fun and yet the energy doesn't overwhelm; it is easy to carry a conversation. I am a huge fan.
My concern, what holds me back from rating it higher, is the food itself. I liked the warm olives but the octopus was disappointing both in the amount offered and in preparation. I am a huge fan of octopus but it was mediocre and while advertised as coming with chorizo only arrived with two extremely small bites. I've also had the scallops which were again good but not particularly memorable. The jerk shrimp were particularly good but note that it only comes with 3 in the event that you are looking to share.
I've given The Good Son two tries because I really wanted to like it more but, for me, it comes out as just being average when compared to other places at a similar price point in the city.
